I have used man shops for repairs but as of now I use Soulspeed for all my auto repairs. They are top notch, professional and very well priced. The owner is a genius when it comes to alighnment but they do everything at that shop.

This place is WAY overpriced but usually specialty shops are. Soulspeed performance is the only place I would trust with my car.

I do not work for them I just keeps it real when it comes to my experiences with repairs. UpRev did some work for me but I wasn't 100% satisfied yet again.

I dealt with the Zclinic this past week and his prices were in line with other shops I checked with. I was referred to the guy named Kevin there and he was decent and went over everything with me.. just saying seemed ok, he'll be doing some stuff for me in the near future

My buddy lives in Austin and I am in the process of selling him my Greddy TT Z. Will he have any issues with emissions inspection?

So my friend took the car in twice and it has failed. Believe this is due to the O2 and evap sensors registering not ready b/c they have been disabled in the UpRev software. Anyone have any ideas or maybe can help him out?

It seems the law as of 2008 says only 1 non-continuous monitor can show not read.
"For vehicles year model 2001 and newer, we allow one (1) non-continuous monitor to be Not Ready and still pass the test, but two (2) or more Not Ready's will cause the vehicle to fail."

I attached a pic of his results.

Does anyone know of a shop he can take it to, and if they pass him does the state "flag" the car, and what does that mean?
